Survived Another Fed Wednesday Storm

December 18, 2014 /23 Comments/in /by

Just as I mentioned in the Wednesday morning report, The Fed Wednesday Storm was enough to more than Rock The Boat.  If you watched the action from 2 P.M. to market close , the name of the game was Volatility. Remember though, sometimes the storms wash the landscape clean and we see the light of a new day, and today lets discuss the beauty of what might be...

FED MTG TODAY

December 17, 2014 /18 Comments/in /by

In the past I have found that either on Fed Wednesday or Follow Through Thursday much of the analysis, whether it's using cycles, Tech Analysis, Fundamentals, etc -  is both correct for a short time, then wrong for a short time, then correct again, then wrong again, and then the true direction that is going to hold finally seems to take hold.  So for today ....

REVERSALS EVERYWHERE- WILL THEY HOLD

December 16, 2014 in /by

Today is a day full of reversals. The question is , with the FED MEETING tomorrow , will they stick? Some like OIL & ENERGY seem to have been put in with conviction, if they close here.   Sure-   some of the energy stocks are up 15 – 20 % , but in recent […]

Have you ever heard the expression " Cant see the Forest through the Trees" or "Cant see the Forest For the Trees" ?  Its about being so focused on 1 Tree ( Or 1 idea) that you cant see the big picture, the Forest . Its important for investors to see all things big and small , because it can affect the outcome along the way.

EBAY

 

EBAY just might be breaking  out & take off from here, but stepping back and looking at the bigger picture helps us to see if we should be buying / waiting / or what?

The larger View

  The Big Picture .  Its important to your investing to know what you're looking at, each piece  big  and Small together.  Why?
